FRENCH PAPERS. Ztjrn CH OCT. 9. r —We are assured that the Go vernments of all the Cantons in Switzerland intend 'to adopt the most vigorous measures to preven•, or restrain, theintrodudion of Colonial produce. We -have reason to believe that it .is intended to esta blish veil' heavy duties on the importation of such articles.

They were laden, some with oil, wine, cheese, to bacco, and other merchandize; and articles of pro vtaiwts ; others had cargoes - of corda.:e, iron, ship timber, cannon, powder, lead, and . naval. stores. — The number of vessels that cleared ou► at. the same time was 269, partly laden with corn, linen, paper, gum, arsenic, steel, lemons, cream of tartar, and thugs. One hundred and seventy-eight large barb, which arrive and 'depart continually at and from every point of the kingdom where it is possible to land anything, are tot included in this account. — The English cannot in the least obstruct: these ma titime movements. ;ERNE, OCT. 2.—The Government ,of_Fribou% ordered, on the . 15111 of October, the sequestration of English and colonial mercltandize, the confisca tion of the former; and the levying of the duties fixed by tarif on an the colonial produce•at present in the canton, or which shall enter it in future: Similar measures were taken on the same day by the Govern Merit of Soleure, and it has ordered that tro depot ot colonial produce be permitted. on the frontiers of France. In the canton of Schaffhausen all English and,co lonial goods .have been ordered to be placed in de pots. Every person who wishes to get away colo inal produce trom the magazines, where it is depo sited must pay the duties conformably Co the tarif. ' The Government of Vaud has subjected all colo nial produce to a tarif, and has prohibited every de pat of that commodity on the frontiers of France. The canton of St. Gall ordered, on the 16th of October; that all English merchandize should be se questrated and confiscated; that colonial produce should be sequestrated and subjected to a tarif. The Bovernmetit of the Thurgau adopted tae same tneastires on the same day. That of Uri has ordered the sequestration of cola -4 produce ;. here was uo English merchandize in that canton. The Lower Underwald has adopted the same measures. • The Giatid Council of the exterior RhodeS of Appeuzell, was convoked on the t6th, for the pur ,pose of adopting similar resolutions. , " On the 15th, the government of the Grisons had' already ordered the declaration of all , the colonial produce to be found in .that canton, The measures taken by the Cantonal Governments could not be simultaneous; because they lie at very different distances from the Central Government ; but all of them adopt successively the- same resolu- Lions.' A Cottirn'issi`on appointed by M. the Landarnman is employed about the meals of maintaining-in Swit zerlahil the systdth which has been adopted., • M. the Landamman has invited all tlo Cantonal GoverIMEAll6 to cause an account io betaken of all the cpionfai Lnerclrandiz4 in Switzerland,. for the purpose qi iscertifining such as belongs to foreign merchants. . , , CALM'S, OCT. 24:—.-The dsphalon, Capt.

The unfortunate people of Switzerland kive been obliged to•comply With his tyrannical mandates upon this subje6L We understand that BuoNApARTE repealed his late extramlinary Decree, relatike to the Press, in five days after it was issued, It is impossible_ that any D-cree can put the Press of France more under ins,cor:xouljthan it is at present ;- it was probably issued in one of his fits of intemperate passion, and rescinded upian a little sober reflection. We have still to regret our inability to communi cate to our Readers any intelligence from Portugal- There are a variety Of rumours in circulation, but they are not deserving of notice. We are by no means so confident, as many of our contemporaries are, , that the next dispatches from Lord WELLING TON Will contain an account of a -baffle. We fear that MAssENA may prefer a retreat, though attend ed wilt great loss and disgrace, to a battle, by which the safety of his whole Army woted be risqued. it has been reported that MAssENA has been recalled Iroth the ; command of the Army in Portugal. IWe _know not upon what authority this report is found ed, 'and we are very rich inclined td doubt the truth of it; IVIAssENA is not a favourite with BOONA PARTE, but he has no better General to oppose to Lord WELLINGTON, 'and therefore it is very un likely, that he should recall him at such a critical period of the Campaign. • We regret very much to see that some of our Contemporaries are entering into long speculation s upon the course that will be adopted if fits M A - J ESTY'S indisposition should unfortunately continue; and are giving copious extracts from the proceedings in 1788. We do not think that in the present situ ation of atlitirs, such .condi,et..is very delicate—cer tainly it is not necess:try. Fro rn what fell from the CHANCELLOR of _the EXCHEQUER on Thursday, therals every reason to hope that a very few days will terminate the, indisposition of His MAJESTY - surely then it is improper 'unnecessarily to add to the severe afiliaions of his Family, 'by - a premature discussion of the painful subject to which we are alluding. If, contrary to our most ardent hopes, His MAJesTy's indisposition should be protraded, the - , discussion must of :course take place, and the two Houses of Parliament will adopt such Measures as the exigency of the case may require: Until that exigency does occur, we shall abstain, unless abso lutely forced into.it,'from entering into any specula tive considerations upon the subject. New York Papers reached town last night to the *2Bth of September. They contain no news of im portance. It was some time since stated in a FrenCh Paper, that a vessel had arrived at L'Orient, from New York, with an Amer;can Envoy on board. The .New York Gazette; in noticing this statemerit, says, " We know of no Minister appointed to re place General AEMSTRONG."—The New York Even ing Post, in a political article, in alluding to a sus picion that General ARMSTRONG had held o'it to NAPOLEON, that the United States would join him in a war against England, says, " The petal* of America are not so far sunk in _degradation, let BUONAPARTR • be just before he is generous—let him restore the property he has stolen from us---te yoke his decrees unconditionally, and acknowledge that be has nothing to do with ow itlternal ;•eguilt‘ tious.". PRIACBSS AMELIA. • The melancholy event which has so long been ex peEted, and even wished for by the sympiithizing pel)le of this Country, a 4 the case admitted no hope of recovery, took place yesterday, a little be fore three o'clock, at Which hour the death of this amiable Princess vt as publicly announced at Wind sor. A Messenger was inmiedi'iltely afterdiipatched to London with letters to the Princess of WALES and other branches of the ROY AL FAMILY. The Princess AMELIA, who was t he youngest liv ing offspring of their MAJESTIES, was bum on the • 7th of August, 1783. Her frame was originally delicate, and she was subject to frequent IndiSposi- Lions, but,they only served td show the excellent temper of her mind, in the meekness and forittpde With which she supported them. • The person of Her Royal Highness was tall, and well proportioned, but delicate in its struaure. Her manner was peculiarly mild, graceful; and interest, ing. Her countenance fully expressed the benignil of her disposition, and had a obarader of sofines; and delicacy, which plainly evinced that the con sciousness Of her'b;rtli and elevated rank did not exalt her-above the condition and feelings of hu man nature. As far as the interruptions a sick n;:.:s would permit, Her Royal Highness was studi ous of the Fine Arts, in which her judgment,. taste, and skill, were much admired. She was very fond of Music, and had acquired no ordinary degree of excellence on the Piano-forte. In performing the duties of humanity and benevolence, she was inde. fatigable ; and -the graceful' sympathy. with •which all her ads'of this nature were performed, was not less - soothing and gratifying, than the actual tribute of her kindness. In all the relations of domestic life it is impos- sible to dO justice to her charader and contluet. As a Daughter and a Sister, nothing could exceed her attention, assiduity- and alfedion. But ' indeed in this resi)ea it is but a fair tribute to all her Royal Sisters to acknowledge that they hold forth an ex ample of filiA piety and relative affection that cannot be surpassed. The disorder which has at length terminated in depriving her August Family, and an affectionate people, of this truly arniable.Princess, began to disk cover alarming symptoms . about two years -ago. Sea-bathing and moderate exercise on liorSeback (to the latter of which she was partial), and every thing that medical knowledge and experience could prescribe,,were.of course adopted ; but though they served , to retard the ultimate calamity, 'and afforded incidental relief, no sanguine hopes of her recovery were indulged by those who are conversant in the nature of the, malady, of which the has at length become the victim. We find by the last a6l of her filial tenderness . towards our excellent Sovereign, that it was not in the power of sickness, severely as it operated on her, to lessen the amiable temper of her mind, for, languid as she was at some periods, and tortured by pain at others, a desire of testifying her atie4tion for the best of fathers, was one of the strongest feelings of her mind. We hardly need say, that we allude to the THE RING recently presented by her to HIS MAJESTY, and which was formed atter a device suggested by herself, amidst all her sufferings. The cffeet of that present upon His MAJESTY'S paterna l heart, after its many severe trials during the whole progress of her illness, we have all to deplore at thi s moment, though we indulge the hope that our be loVed Monarch will be soon restored to his people and that the knowledge of the termination of his Daughter's sufferings, will tend to the abatement of his own. The most alarming symptoms began to appear in the state of Her Royal Highness about the middle of: last summer, since which time, with some varia tions, they seem to have had a dirt tendency to wards that event which has at length put a period to all her mortal pains and anxieties. It would be injustice to the memory of this ex cellent Princess to ascribe all her patience and forti tudo to the natural frame of her mind, as the habits of devotion to which she had been trained andied by parental example, and •the true .principles of religion which regulated the whole of her,conduot, strength ened the amiable and gentle qualities of her disposi tion, and made her submit with meek Teiguation to the divine Will, through the whole of the severe pro bation which she was to end re in this life to pre- pare her fur a better. YeSterday, at noon, the LORD MAYOR received a communication from.,lllr. RYDER, Secretary of State for the Howe Department, informing his Lordship, that, in consequence of the continuing indisposition oil* MAJESTY, no new Chief Magistrate of the City could be submitted for the Royal Approba, tton, and that in consequence his Lordship would •be expeded to continue in the discharge of the duties of that ,high Office until his MAJFSTY'S' plett vire could be Mien on the appointment of his suc i;CSSQI", SECOND EDITION.
